Name of Soldier: Henry ARCHER
Application No.: 595156 Date: 27 Jan 1887 Where:OH
Certificate No.: 497511
Widow : Huldah ARCHER
Application No.: 857660 Date: 30 Oct 1906 Where:OH
Certificate No.: 621827
Service : D 24 & D 18 OH Inf
[GWA comment: This may be Henry Archer (Isaac, Simon, James, Patrick) b. 14 Aug 1846
md. Hulda Miller 5 May 1867, Noble Co., OH. The identification is tentative because if he enlisted during the Civil War he would have been
about ages 14-19, and there are no local history records that identify these military units as filled largly with Noble Co. men.He could have
gone elsewhere to enlist. The date of Hulda's application matches the disappearance of Henry from the U.S. Censuses after 1900, but without
any death or burial information, the Hulda who applied in 1906 cannot be identified with certainty as the wife of Henry, descendant of Patrick.]

Name of Soldier: Jacob ARCHER
Application No.: 40231 Date: 8 Feb 1864 Where:
Certificate No.: 89976
Widow : Mary ARCHER

[GWA comment: This is Jacob Archer (Jacob, Simon, Patrick) b. 17 Apr 1826,
Parke Co., IN, d. 1 Jul 1903 md. 19 Apr 1855, Greene Co., IN Mary Smith b. 23 Apr 1830, IN; d. 24
May 1904. Both are buried Holder Cem, Worthington, IN. Jacob's ancestry is based on the ongoing work of researchers.
Note that this is a descendant of Simon of Patrick who left Greene Co., PA and moved to Washington Co., OH and died there in 1808. Two of his three
sons, Simon and Jacob went to Butler Co., OH and married there: Simon md. 1. Margaret Yoho before going to Butler Co. and
md. 2. Mary Gosset on 25 Jul 1811. Jacob md. Abigail Morris on 29 Oct 1813. They brought their wives back to Washington Co., OH. Patrick, the third son
of Simon (of Patrick) married in Marietta, Washington Co., OH, Lydia Petty on 15 Mar 1814.
All three men, Jacob, Simon and Patrick moved on to Parke Co, IN by 1823, and their descendants also populate Greene Co., IN.
The line of Simon (of Patrick) has much work to close gaps in records.
Anyone working on this line should contact me (garcher@wdn.com) and I'll put you in touch
with those working on this line and provide sources for the above.]
BACK TO PATRICK ARCHER PENSION FILE

Name of Soldier: James ARCHER
Mother : Mary Etta De VINNEY
Application No.: 23567 Date: 26 Mar 1877 Where:
Certificate No.: 184396
Service : I 3 Wisc Cav
[GWA comment: James ancestry is not known, but a Mariette Archer md. William Devinney 27 Jan 1856, in Huron Co, OH. If this is the mother of
James above, James' father had died by 1856 and his mother applied for her son's veteran pension after James' death before Mar 1877.
The Huron Co, OH marriage records show an earlier marriage of a Philip Archer and Mariettee
Brown on 10 Nov 1840, presumably the same Mariette/Mary Etta who md. William DeVinney in 1856.]

Name of Soldier: Jesse ARCHER
Application No.: 317691 Date: 24 Oct 1879 Where:
Certificate No.: 323108
Widow : Nancy J. ARCHER
Application No.: 853411 Date: 7 Aug 1906 Where:OH
Certificate No.: 622789
Service : I 1 OH HA
[GWA comment: This is Jesse Archer (George, Jacob?, Patrick?) b. 23 Apr 1837, Spencer Twp, Guernsey Co., OH; d. 30 Mar 1906, Enoch Twp, Noble Co.,
son of George Archer and Annie. Jesse md. Nancy Jane Wickham 20 Aug 1870, Noble CO., OH. There is insufficient evidence to say with certainty that
Jesse is a descendant of Jacob (of Patrick), but there are no other candidates in the area and the fact that he was born in Spencer Twp, where
Jacob lived after Jacob moved from Greene CO., PA is circumstantial evidence to support this lineage.
Most of Jacob's descendants moved to the Morgan Co. area and the northern part of Noble before Noble was formed in 1851. Note that this is Jacob of
Patrick, a brother of the James Archer whose line is dominant in Noble Co.
There are no known intermarriages between Jacob and James' lines, both sons of Patrick, despite the close proximity in which their descendants have
lived for two hundred years.]

Certificate No.: 330227
Service : B 97 OH Inf.
[GWA comment: This is possibly John Archer b. c. 1844, son of Jacob Archer and Levinia
Merrow/Marrow/Morrow. John has no known spouse.Jacob's ancestry is still open to proof. Jacob was either son of James (Jacob, Patrick) or
of George (Jacob, Patrick).See comments above for Jesse Archer for more
about Jacob of Patrick's line.Subsequent information shows there was a John
H. Archer in the 97th OVI that held a 37th Annual reunion in Cambridge OH.
(Cambridge Jefersonian, 18 Sep 1923) It is possible this was John Archer (Henry,
Jacob, Patrick)]
